Leach has apologized for the offensive tweet."I sincerely regret if my choice of images in my tweets were found offensive," Leach said."I had no intention of offending anyone."On Feb. 6, Leach wrote a thread criticizing Mitt Romney hours after he was the only Republican senator to vote against President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial.
In a statement Tuesday, Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen said that there was a plan in place to provide Leach with opportunities to “expand his cultural awareness of Mississippi.” “The University is confident that Coach Leach is moving quickly and sincerely past this unintended misstep and will provide the leadership for our student athletes and excitement for our football program that our fans deserve and that our students and alumni will be proud to support,” Cohen said.
